Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5 Scratch-Style DJ Controller

The DDJ-REV5 is a 2-channel scratch-style DJ controller designed for Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. It delivers a hands-on performance experience with large jog wheels, a MAGVEL FADER, dedicated Stems controls, and advanced mixing tools. Ideal for open-format DJs who want flexibility, precision, and creative control.

Features:

• Unique 2-channel, 4-deck design allows for flexible control without an over-complicated interface
• Jog wheels feature vinyl-textured surfaces as an homage to the open-format and battle-style DJing that inspired the DDJ-REV5
• Jog Feel lets you adjust the “weight” of each jog wheel for optimal resistance and fluidity
• Magvel crossfader can have its curve adjusted or reversed from convenient front-mounted controls, designed with durable metal to withstand intense scratching and juggling
• Ergonomic interface design includes a horizontal tempo fader above the decks, with performance pads and lever FX by the mixer to accommodate all manners of performance
• Onboard stem separation includes backlit pads with individually-adjustable volume and mute functions for dynamic mash-up and remix control
• Deck Move makes for quick, one-button toggling between decks
• Dual Deck lets you control both decks on a side simultaneously to expand the opportunities for multiple mash-ups and remixes at the same time
• Built-in Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox compatibility make for diverse performance possibilities with dual USB-C computer connections
• Auto bpm Transition lets you define a range and starting point to automatically adjust tempos as you move from track to track, including Stem, Auto Loop, and Key Lock use
• Piano Play mode lets you reimagine your performance pads as piano keys by dividing cue-point triggers by semitones, with 3 scale options for distinct tone control
• Combo Pad mode means splitting each deck’s eight pads into two rows of performance modes: — Hot Cue, Roll Saved Loop, and Sampler — increasing customization
• Versatile connectivity suite includes XLR and RCA master outputs, balanced 1/4-in. booth output, RCA auxiliary input, and 2 individually attenuated mic inputs
• Comprehensive texturizing tools are available for each deck: 3-band EQ, stem level adjustment, trim, multimode filter, 3 FX slots, and lever FX control
